UCRA FIS INDEX (Foreign Investor Sentiment Index) for Ukraine continued to decline after a sharp drop in the previous month and reached a record low for the last 12 months with the value of 79.2 points.

UCRA FIS INDEX (Foreign Investor Sentiment Index) for Ukraine fell by 1.2 points in the past month but remained in the positive zone with a value of 103.7 points.

UCRA FIS INDEX (Foreign Investor Sentiment Index) for Ukraine in November dropped by 8.7 points to reach 91.7 points. As we expected (see UCRA FIC INDEX release as of November 1), after three months of being in the positive zone (value of UCRA FIS INDEX was 108.4 as of September 1, 105.4 on October 1 and 100.4 on November 1), increasing negative dynamics of the index brought it all the way down to the negative zone. The uncertainty about the tax reform and parameters of the state budget for the next year contributed greatly to the sentiments of investors. At the sectoral side, as before, the prospects of investment in agriculture are the most optimistic among respondents (sub index value of 138.4) as throughout the year this sub index never visited the negative zone. Last month, the adoption in first reading of a law on deregulation in the agricultural sector served as one of the factors that positively influenced the perceptions of investors. Read more

Liquidity declined for the second consecutive day, albeit very little, yesterday. Broader banking sector liquidity fell UAH0.50bn to UAH71.03bn as banks’ correspondent accounts with the NBU increased UAH0.67bn to UAH21.64bn. Total CDs outstanding slid UAH0.09bn to UAH44.11bn and total local currency debt repayments were down UAH1.07bn to UAH5.28bn.

Ukrainian bond markets reacted to news of the government’s new loan which was approved a week before but announced last week. Because of this loan as well as of last week’s monthly tax payments, the MoF did not refinance all debt repayments, but instead raised less than half of its needs.

Domestic bond market. The MoF held primary auctions twice last week, mostly to raise significant proceeds for the state budget, but these borrowings were made mostly to finance budget needs in funds for debt repayments scheduled for the last week and for this one. These issues were also supported by the NBU via purchasing government bonds at the secondary market and by the MoF through debt repayments to provide funds to banking sector liquidity while maintaining stability.
